Unfortunately, these paths are often very long, so that neither the file name nor the error/warning message is not visible in the compile buffer window. This then requires a lot of extra keystrokes to switch windows, move to the line in question, jump to the end of that line, then switch back to the source file, rinse, repeat. Is there any way to collapse/hide the file paths being shown in the compiler buffer window so that I can see the compiler error/warning messages without all the keyboard gymanstics? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
